The Benefits of Installing Solar Panel Systems for Your Home

Solar Panel Systems Can Provide Several Economic and Environmental Benefits

Over the last several years, homeowners have been exposed to numerous initiatives that are rooted in improving or protecting our environment. Recycling programs, emissions testing, and biodegradable packaging are just a few examples of the practices/programs in place today with an eye on greater eco-friendliness.

Additionally, these same homeowners have been looking for ways to modify their energy consumption habits. While this may also be tied to environmental concerns, it likely has a lot to do with reducing heating/cooling bills in light of the economy. To this end, many families are making a transition to energy conservation-related initiatives such as high-efficiency furnaces, programmable thermostats, LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs, and other types of low energy-output appliances.

But one aspect that they may not be giving the attention it deserves is the installation of solar panel systems. By converting to a solar panel system, homeowners can both save on energy consumption/costs plus make their home more environmentally-friendly, too.

Before investing in the installation of solar panels, homeowners will need to assess many important factors with respect to their home, roof, and property. Such key questions will include:

Is there sufficient area on the roof for an array of solar panels?

Does the sun shine on this area for the majority of daylight hours?

Do shadows from trees/structures block this area for part of the day?

Will the current roof sub-structure withstand the weight of the panels?

What is the orientation of this area to the winter sun at the noon hour?
